The bridge is formally named the Patriot Leonard A. Farrington Memorial Bridge, after the Navy veteran who waved a flag on Sept. 11, 2001, and on the anniversary of the terror attacks each year until his death in 2012.

▪ At 9 a.m. Monday, Tega Cay will hold a Memorial Day ceremony at the Living Memorial Gardens at the corner of Shoreline Parkway and Tega Cay Drive. The event is organized by the Tega Cay Veterans Association. For information, contact Commander Charles Gross at charlesalangross@gmail.com.

▪ Historic Brattonsville will be open to the public 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday for a “special day of remembrance.” Visitors can join historical interpreters in a 1870s wreath-laying ceremony and discover the origins of the holiday dating to the aftermath of the Civil War.
